Fire-rated sealant in Albury Heath, Surrey
Our applicators work in Albury Heath on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Albury Heath can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Albury Heath
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Albury Heath, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Albury Heath and across Surrey.

What we are called out for in Albury Heath
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like Old St Peter and St Paul's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone

- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Albury Heath, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Questions from Albury Heath
Will you come out to Albury Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
